The story of American Idiot is a little dated and had some strong tones of narcissism from its lead characters (but hey who wasn’t narcissistic in their early 20s?!).

tick, tick…BOOM! has a great narrative, some incredible songs and is easily recognizable to the struggling artists and bohemians of the audience.

Written by legendary screenwriter Julian Fellows (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park) and with music from the original film as well as more recent additions, this production is practically perfect in every way.

West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
